Gwen Stefani took her children on tour – and they loved it

The artist talks about her kids’ enthusiastic involvement

Gwen Stefani revealed she brought her kids along while on tour and they all had “the best time” together.

The singer, who has Zuma, Kingston, and Apollo, says they got quite involved by assisting her during a very hectic schedule.

She said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show: “They had the best time. Can you imagine three little boys on a [tour] bus after you do a show like, ‘Get to bed!’ … It’s exhausting. But it was fun.

Zuma was so into it … I have a quick change where I was changing costumes and stuff – he was working it. He had his flashlight, headphones; he walked me on and off the stage every single night. For two hours he worked back there – he was so into it.”

Meanwhile, the 46-year-old star had recently opened up about her breakup with Gavin Rossdale, admitting she endured months of emotional torture.

She shared: “Nobody except for my parents, the people involved, and whoever they told [know specifics]. Nobody would believe it if I could really say what happened. I went through months and months of torture.”

The artist says the story behind the split is all over her songs, revealing her painful journey to be an ongoing theme: “All you have to do is listen to every single song I’ve ever written and it’s all there. It’s an ongoing theme that I’ve had for a long time.”

While Gwen is now happy with Blake Shelton, she acknowledged that they both had some trust issues to work on as a result of being burned in the past.

The artist said in a previous interview: “We were both having trust issues, as you would if you were us. It was like, ‘I have so many problems. How can I now be getting into another potentially huge problem? What am I doing?'”
